Rating: 5/5In reply to John M.

Pros: Has been rock steady for me , despite the fact that I have it sitting on the floor next to my desk and have kicked it several times.

Cons: Their instructions can actually be confusing to new users . Anyone with any tech savvy will probably do as I did and just repartition it and reformat it from within Windows and dump the tools they provide.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure by what you mean "A Buffalo Drive inside" ... Buffalo doesn't actually manufacture hard drives. They make the external units . They use drives from Seagate , Western Digital , or Toshiba , depending on who gives them the best discounts for buying in bulk and also gives good performance in their product.

Rating: 1/5After reading others

Other Thoughts: I am hesitant to buy one if it does not have a buffalo disk in it. Do NOT want WD for sure; too many problems in the past and Hitatchi ehhhhh maybe. But, if it says a BUFFALO, then that is what I want inside. Like trying to sell me a porsche when I know its a yugo inside. What is up with that?

Rating: 5/5Great drive for external storage!

Pros: So far, this has been a great drive. Very quiet operation, and it works well as an external storage drive for my Xbox one. Fast transfer speeds when connected to a USB 3.0 port. If you look through the vent hols you can see the drive inside and it appears to be a WD green drive. Not sure on the exact model though.

Cons: The USB 3.0 connector had a tab that was bent in such a way that the cable could not be plugged in, until the tab was bent back out. Hopefully I didn't weaken any of the solder joints for the connector. This tab should normally be bent the correct way and it was probably missed.

Since it is a Western Digital drive, it will probably have a long lifespan, and being a green drive it is most likely power efficient. Longevity of the drive is something that I am most interested in since it will have all of my save files for games stored on it. I will have to wait and see how it performs in the long run.

Rating: 5/5Nice

Pros: 3T of storage for $98 smackeroos. shipped free. Appears to be an Hitachi drive inside - I'm very happy with that. This drive is dead silent, and cool to the touch. Letting it run 24/7 for a 30 day torture treatment. Case is solid and rugged. Feels substantial.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: for some reason , UPS left it on the front steps with no signature. In full view right out on the street. Whats up with that? Unacceptable. Does NE have some low cost shipping arrangement where no sig is required?

Rating: 5/5Is doing a great job

Other Thoughts: The unit was instantly picked up by my computer. I formatted it into 2 partitions . On that I use for making Acronis Trueimage storage area , the other just for manual backups of data . The drive works quite well . Runs faster than I actually expected from a USB 3 drive. All in all , I am quite happy with this drive and I will be purchasing another to use as network attached storage through my router.

Rating: 1/5zero customer service

Cons: Like I said in the Title there doesn't seem to be any customer service for this product. So I tried to get the thing running but it doesn't come with an application to do that?? I sent an email out for some help, a little over a week ago, and there has been no reply. I personally feel a week is certainly long enough for a reply. I'd stay clear of this product for now. I mean, it's probably an ok unit but if the manufacturer is refusing to support it, well then.......

Other Thoughts: If the manufacturer reads this: My documentation, what very little there is, names this device the HD-LCU3 with a scu: 35020183-01. So if you did want to reach out to me.....
